What to Try If You Like the Hit — Or Want Something Different
Pablo is one of those brands people don’t “accidentally” use. You end up on Pablo because you want a stronger nicotine pouch — and you want it to feel like it. The problem? Once you’re used to that level, a lot of standard pouches start feeling… polite.
So if you like Pablo but want alternatives — different flavours, a different kind of “hit”, or just something strong that’s easier to live with day-to-day — this guide is for you.
Quick reality check: why Pablo feels so strong
Not all “strong” pouches feel the same. Pablo is known for variants listed as ultra-strong — for example, Pablo Exclusive Orange is commonly listed at 30mg per pouch and 50mg per gram, which is firmly in the experienced-user category.
That’s why people go looking for alternatives: either you want similar strength with a different flavour profile, or you want slightly less chaos while still staying in the “strong” lane.
How to pick a Pablo alternative (don’t overthink it)
-
Want strong but more “everyday”? Choose Killa / VELO
-
Want equally aggressive? Look at Iceberg / ICE / Kurwa style brands
-
Want stronger-than-Pablo territory? Siberia / Cuba Black / heavy hitters
-
Want new flavours? Maggie-style fruity blends
Pablo alternatives by “type of user”
1) If you like Pablo for strength… but want a more usable daily pouch
Killa is a common “step-down but still strong” move. A lot of Killa lines are listed around 16mg per gram and roughly 13.2mg per pouch — strong enough to satisfy experienced users, but typically less brutal than ultra-strong Pablo variants.

VELO is another good “daily driver” option because it often comes in a wider range of strengths (so you can actually dial it to your tolerance instead of just surviving it). If you want something cleaner, steadier and more predictable, VELO is usually the sensible pick.

Simple rule: Pablo is what people reach for when they want “maximum hit”. Killa/VELO are what people keep stocked when they want strong, but functional.
2) If you like Pablo because mint feels like a slap (and you want more of that)
Some brands don’t just deliver nicotine — they deliver a sensory kick: icy mint, menthol, “cold shock” style flavours. That’s often what Pablo users enjoy as much as the strength.
This is where many people explore brands like Iceberg (both commonly referenced as Pablo-adjacent alternatives).
On your store, the easiest way to browse these kinds of options is through search, because stock rotates and people often look by flavour keyword rather than brand name:
3) If you want something even stronger than Pablo
Let’s be honest — some people don’t want “an alternative”. They want an upgrade.
This is where Siberia comes in. Siberia has a long-standing reputation for being a top-tier strength brand (originally famous in the snus world, and now for tobacco-free nicotine pouches too). It’s generally aimed at very experienced users who already know their tolerance and want a proper heavy hitter.

Another brand name that comes up a lot when people talk about “Pablo alternatives” is Cuba Black. If you want to see what Cuba lines you carry right now:

Important: if you’re stepping into stronger-than-Pablo territory, go slower. Shorter sessions first. One pouch at a time. No “double decky” nonsense.
4) If you’re bored of Pablo flavours and want something different (but still strong)
Sometimes the problem isn’t strength — it’s flavour fatigue. You’ve done the ice mint thing to death. You want something that actually tastes different.
This is where people often try brands like Maggie — mentioned as a Pablo alternative for flavour variety. Maggie is also ideal if you like fruitier profiles and you want a brand that isn’t just “mint, but colder”.

Final word: the “best” Pablo alternative depends on what you actually want
If you want a strong pouch you can use regularly without feeling like you’re wrestling it, start with Killa or VELO.
If you want a true heavy hitter, go Siberia (and take it steady).
If you’re bored and just want new flavours with a strong feel, try Maggie.
